For Hindus Diwali is one of the most important festivals of the year and is a favourite with children due to the lights, fireworks and sweets involved.
Headmistress Sian Kirkham, said: “In today’s world, it is more important than ever to not only educate our children about cultural diversity but to value it too. The children learnt a great deal about this important date on the Hindu calendar while having lots of fun too.”
